it's launchpad war season on @arc.
circle's chain doesn't even have a public mainnet yet. sept 16. and there are already 9 launchpads fighting there.
> the ones with real volume
@TollyLabs: $1.8m traded, 209 tokens. 64% of fees to the creator, 12% to holders. only pad on arc that published its code. the holder pot has $1,252 in it and no way to claim it yet.
@circlewarp: $1.5m traded, 172 launches. the only bonding curve that's live. 1 graduation in 6 weeks. 84% of its volume is its own $WARP token.
@Archemistdotfun: $337k, 49 tokens. you launch by tagging a bot on x. 80% of fees to the creator. 77% of its volume is its own $arch token.
> the ones with numbers, not volume
@ArcDEXScan: 2,203 launches, the most on arc. 394 of them came from one wallet. shows 1% fee, adds another 1% in the router.
@arcpad_meme: a fork of potatopad from robinhood chain. 15 tokens, $29k traded. takes 50% of fees. lifetime revenue: $75.
@UBIdotFUN: the only one on uniswap v4. 1.25% fee, 24% to holders. 3 coins. $4.8k volume. holder pool: $1.38.
> the ones not open yet
@actfunxyz: contracts are live, launches gated until sept 16, 9am utc. their own token drops the same day. says "lp locked" but the owner keeps an emergency withdraw.
@minarafun: testnet only. backed by circle ventures. lowest fees on arc (0.5-0.75%). lets the creator buy 80% of supply at launch.
@Flutchdotfun: 667 people on a whitelist. 0 launches. on any chain.
7 out of 9 don't use a bonding curve. they drop the token straight into a uniswap pool with $0 of real liquidity and let buyers fill it.
creators get 50-80% of fees. holders get 0% on 5 of the 9 pads. where holders do get a cut, nobody has been paid.
the whole chain does ~$1.3m of dex volume a day. and most of that is the launchpads trading their own tokens, not the tokens they launched.
nobody is audited. nobody is verified on an explorer. nobody can bridge usdc onto arc today, because circle hasn't flipped cctp on for mainnet.
@NeoCallss@0xStackr@0xdhruva and this documentation has the link to this particular account in twitter. But article was back in 2024 while twitter account is created in april 2026 (I am not sure whether it could be hacked or changed by someone else).
